I reckon that it must be as much of a pain for the Admins as for the players who are waiting ages to hear if their ban is upheld. I used to administrate a network for university halls of residences - 2500 pc's at just one of the sites that could have all had the same public IP address - try asking them for a photo of them playing BD with one hand raised - lol. Don't know how much some of you know about IP addresses but IPv6 is going to make things so much easier for lots of people as it phases in over the next while. Just wait until even your fridge has it's own static unique IP - it's not that far away - great from networking point of view - very scary from some other points of view

This is a basic list of things that can get you banned ingame, since many players seem to be unaware. (This list is not exhaustive, you can still get banned for something if it doesn't appear on this list. This list simply covers the most common causes of bans)

Account relatedControlling more than one colony on a single server (Multiple accounts)NB: If multiple people play BD from a single building/computer, always check with the server admin in advance to avoid accidental multi-banning.

Sharing your login details with other users to allow them to log in for you when you're offline. (Account sharing)

Farming relatedBuilding a colony purely to join an alliance, send a user your resources, then leave again.NB: This includes both giving them as a gift, and as part of a pre-arranged trade in exchange for tokens, resources on another server, or any other form of currency.

ObscenityBuilding a colony with an obscene name (Usually results in a forced name change)

I got banned for spamming a team which conquered me, the team wasn't in war, infact they finished the war and were just building, so the admin couldn't say I was a farm for the enemy. Plus I was about 48 ticks away from their hive, so there was no reason to ban me.

Help I've fallen and I can't get up! No, but for real. My friend and I have been staying with each other for a few nights and we got hit for multi-accounting. I never read up on contacting the admin ahead of time and I wish I had. I'm hoping to get this checked out and fixed. Thank you
